shareLESBIANS IN BOYSTOWN reveals the forgotten history of lesbians and queer women in West Hollywood, the first “gay city” in the U.S. The documentary honors lesbian activism through Dyke Marches, the AIDS crisis, nonprofit organizing, and grassroots work ensuring that this legacy is remembered despite our culture’s predilection towards lesbian invisibility. Since the late 1990s, lesbian bars, bookstores, cafés, and gathering spaces have been disappearing across the U.S. raising questions about visibility, infrastructure, and belonging. Ultimately, LESBIANS IN BOYSTOWN asks how can we build an enduring community for lesbians and queer women today?
Filmmaker Betsy Kalin will be in attendance for a post-film Q&A
FREE BEER TOMORROW is a documentary film project that tells the story of Jack’s/Summit Station, Ohio’s longest running lesbian owned and operated bar. With interviews from Peter Brown-a classically trained musician turned bar owner- to pioneering LGBTQ+ lawyer and legal scholar, Rhonda R. Rivera, and former patrons running the gamut of tap dancers, professional women’s football players, feminist activists, bartenders and drag kings, the film explores lesbian culture in an era where bars were one of the few safe-havens from an oppressive and homophobic world.
